Well I am finally going to hold my first two day clinic in Louisburg, NC for a client of mine. Never thought I would progress this far when I started teaching and training again. You see, I have been training horses for quite sometime and teaching riding lessons since 1994. I did quit for a while to become a realtor. But decided to go back to training and teaching when the economy went downhill and the housing market all but collapsed. And I am so glad I did. I specialize in training trail horses. I don’t care what breed or what discipline you ride. Any horse can become a very successful, highly trained trail horse that doesn’t spook at everything it sees and knows how to behave like a fox hunter. It just takes patience and training.
I had a wonderful client who brought his TWH to me to be trained as a trail horse. This horse was a little spooky to ride, but boy did we have fun together. She taught me a thing or two, like how to get over my fear of losing my seat when horse gets excited on the trail and wants to take off running and bucking. She went back home at the end of her session at Baymount Farm and has become a favorite of my client. Jazzy Plays Soccer This same client has asked me to come to his farm and hold a two day clinic for his family. I am happy to comply and very excited about this opportunity. I plan to hold many more clinics in the future.
This particular clinic will be customized to my client’s needs. I will be teaching harnessing and driving TWH’s, giving riding lessons to his family, giving trail lessons and teaching how to handle horses properly. The wonderful thing about clinics is that they can be tailor made to fit the needs of the individual. Not all clinics need to be so organized that they become boring or a show of trick training skills. I won’t be starting out by round penning, then moving onto sacking out, tacking up, etc. I will be using their horses that they are already familiar with to teach them how to become better riders and drivers. How fun is that!
When I finish I am hoping the whole family will be confident enough that individually they can go out saddle up, or harness up and take off for a wonderful time with their horse. Watch for the video of this clinic. I think you will find it interesting.
Happy Riding!
